It took time

When I think about the times that I see people or places and look upon them with joy, I would wonder whether I would also experience such things again.Of course the consideration is not impossible. When I recall so many wonderful moments, of course they are not in the past. But today, I am writing this because in order to have those moment again, I take on the small moments that are equally sublime. Like today when I went for my walk that I have begun to do again. I noticed a tiny bird on the concrete between the road and the grass of my neighbour's home. When I looked again, I realised that it was actually a leaf shaped like one. I was quite amazed by it and quite moved by the things that nature can do so simply. The day before there was also a fight between two brown birds. I did not realise that they are actually all of the colors of Autumn. The rustling noise alerted me to them. We live in a place where we get to see so many beautiful birds and other animals. To be lost for a moment in what is so much bigger is so helpful, so cathartic. I had a week where I was not feeling great, but knew that it was meant to bring me to what I understand right now and I am grateful as always for that. To be able to shift perspective and to plan and dream is a great thing.
